Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, recently residents of the Northwest Territories received a mail-out from the Department of Health and Social Services describing a new service. It's a 1-800 number that can be accessed toll-free from anywhere in the NWT and it's called Telecare.

Mr. Speaker, I am somewhat familiar with this and I know the Minister did unveil this and held a press conference and so on, but for the benefit of people who may have inadvertently thrown that envelope in the junk mail pile, I just wanted to ask the Minister a few questions about it more or less just to create some awareness around it. Could the Minister please inform the House what the intent or motivation for such a service in the NWT is? Thank you.
